Mississippi colleges have 10 players in CFL, 6 from Ole Miss

The Canadian Football League kicks off the 2015 this week and there is again no shortage of players who competed at Mississippi Colleges in the nine-team league.

The school with by far the largest representation by this season is Ole Miss with six former Rebels suiting up north of the border.

Former Ole Miss quarterback and offensive coordinator Kent Austin is the head coach of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and he has the largest number of players from Mississippi schools on his roster with four Ole Miss products.
